The Arai Difference
You might be wondering why anyone would pay over £500 for an Arai helmet that meets the same standard as a £50 lid. It's a question we are asked in our branches practically every day. The answer is simply that "Arai Helmets are different!".

Different how?

From the off, Arai is not a corporation run by a board of directors who are only interested in profit. Arai is currently run by Akhito Arai, who took over from his father, Michio, who in turn took over from his father, Hirotake, the founder of Arai Helmets. Honour is important in Japanese culture, so the Arai family name on every helmet is a good indicator that there hasn't been any corner cutting!

In Europe, crash helmets need only pass CE-2205 to be deemed safe enough to be sold as protection. All Arai helmets pass this test, and any other test, worldwide. It's important to be clear that they don't just "meet" the required standards, Arai helmets exceed these standards.

Every Arai helmet is handmade and goes through three quality control departments, one after the shell is made, one after paint and graphics and another after assembly. When you have finished with your Arai, before you throw it away, take it apart and look inside the shell - there's a stamp in there, signed by everyone who worked on the helmet, so that quality control can be tracked through every step of manufacturing. Note that this quality control applies to every Arai, not every tenth or hundredth. This is part of the reason why Arai has offered a 5 Year Limited Warranty for the last 15 years.
Arai were the first to offer comfort features like removable cheek pads, different interior shapes and liners in different thicknesses for a custom fit.

Arai are the only brand to have been ranked as number one in the J.D. Power Motorcycle Helmet Customer Satisfaction survey which is now in it's twelth year.

The bottom line is that wearing an Arai helmet will make you feel more comfortable and safer, for hours on end, day after day, long after a cheap helmet has got so uncomfortable and draughty that it has been replaced.

All branches of Infinity Motorcycles have staff who have been trained by Arai to help you buy the right helmet. We are also Arai Five Star dealers and service UK supplied Arai helmets, and we have a huge range of helmets in stock from other manufacturers so you can compare. If you would rather buy online, you can do so with confidence thanks to our 7 day helmet exchange policy.
